Chapter 680 Humiliated At The Wedding
Amelia entrusted Oscar with resolving Jayden’s issue with the loan sharks, so he contacted gang members that he knew and had them take care of it.
Of course, they kept everything a secret from Derrick the whole time.
Fortunately, they were able to take care of Jayden’s issue just in time for Tiffany and Derrick’s wedding.
Amelia showed up for the wedding ceremony as a family member of the bride. She was seated in the second row with Oscar and Tony.
As the music began to play, Tiffany slowly made her way over with Reginald holding her hand.
With a smile on her face, she watched as Reginald solemnly handed her over to Derrick. “Derrick, I hereby place my daughter in your hands. Make sure you take good care of her.”
Derrick nodded as he reached out to take Tiffany’s hand.
The two of them then turned toward the emcee, prompting him to begin his speech.
“Do you, Derrick Hisson, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to live together in matrimony, to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, to have and to hold, from this day forward, as long as you both shall live?”
“I do,” Derrick replied.
The emcee then turned toward Tiffany and asked, “Do you, Tiffany Winters, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to live together in matrimony, to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, to have and to hold, from this day forward, as long as you both shall live?”
“I do,” Tiffany replied.
The emcee flashed them a smile as he continued, “Very well, you may now proceed with the ring exchange. A ring is an unbroken circle with ends that have been joined together, and it represents your union. It is a symbol of infinity, and of your infinite love. When you look at these rings on your hands, be reminded of this moment, your commitment, and the love you now feel for each other.”
Derrick pulled out the diamond ring that he had prepared, held Tiffany’s hand, and slid it onto her finger. Although the ring itself wasn’t heavy, it represented his lifetime promise to her.
Tiffany too took the ring over and solemnly slid it onto his finger.
“Before these witnesses, you have pledged to be joined in marriage. You have now sealed this pledge with your wedding rings. By the authority vested in me, I now pronounce you married! Ladies and gentlemen, don’t you think it’s about time they have that kiss?” the emcee said excitedly.
“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” the crowd responded with an equal amount of enthusiasm.
With everyone cheering them on, Derrick gave Tiffany a deep and passionate kiss. A few minutes had passed by the time they let go of each other.
As the crowd applauded them like crazy, Derrick looked Tiffany in the eye and said, “You are my wife now, Tiff. Don’t even think about running away anymore.”
Tiffany blushed shyly as she said, “You’re my wife too, so no looking at other women from now on!”
“All right,” Derrick replied.
Their wholesome moment was ruined when a hostile voice came from the crowd. “Hey, Jayden Winters! Show yourself! It’s time for you to pay me the money you owe!”
With his face all pale, Jayden got up from his seat and rushed toward the group of men. “What brings you here, Mr. Angelo? We agreed that I’d pay up two weeks later, didn’t we?”
Ronnie Angelo grabbed him by the shirt collar and shouted angrily, “Don’t give me that crap, Jayden! You owe me money! Are you trying to avoid paying up?”
In his state of panic, Jayden turned to look at Tiffany as he yelled, “Help me, Tiffany!”
“Who are you people? Let go of my son!” Tiffany’s mother exclaimed as she came rushing over with her husband.
Amelia, Tiffany, Oscar, and Derrick made their way over as well.
“Let’s talk about this, so please let go of my brother!” Tiffany pleaded.
Ronnie shoved Jayden aside and eyed Tiffany from head to toe as he said, “So, you’re Tiffany Winters? The one that married into the Hisson family? Your brother tells me that you’re pretty rich now. You see, he came over and borrowed some money from me for gambling. Do you want to pay off his debt? That’s fine by me! He owes me a couple of millions, that’s all!”
